The slow start to NBA free agency can be traced to one man: LeBron James.

The self-described King’s highly anticipated decision is holding up a number of players, most obviously Big 3 compatriot Chris Bosh, who reportedly would sign with the Rockets if James doesn’t return to Miami.

But several other deals are being held up by James’ indecision. The Rockets, if they can land Bosh, will reportedly deal Jeremy Lin to the 76ers to free cap room needed to nab the All-Star forward.

Whether or not they get Bosh, the Rockets likely would choose to match the three-year, $45 million offer sheet Chandler Parsons signed with the Mavericks (while out at a nightclub with Mark Cuban). But because of a salary cap loophole, the Rockets would have to sign Bosh before Parsons to get both and stay under the cap.

Where will Bosh and Love end up?

After watching Chris Bosh for the last four years, he is a great team guy, very smart

defensive player and durable with very few games missed in that time. That being said last year was his best year in a Heat uniform. I guess it took that long for the Heat to figure out he is not a power forward or a true center. So lets just get him the ball on the wing. Max money for that ? If Houston is that desperate, I would say Chris run, do not walk to Houston. No wonder Lebron is rolling his eyes on that offer and saying we can get 3 guys that can do that for a lot less. Even though he is a hella of a guy LOL

Wow 15 mil for Parsons, that's almost as stupid as giving Lin the contact that Houston gave him. But Dallas and Houston deserve each other anyway. Does Houston or Dallas want Amare, Bargiani or JR they could have them for a song. As for Cleveland they were putting together a nice team and to tie the money that Lebron want they should really consider what will they do when Kyrie's contract and the others expire. Just think that they need to leave Lebron to himself in Miami and definitely not haunt us in NY.
